Hallo r/poland,
I wanted to share about polish people moving from Szczecin/Stettin to Löcknitz Germany 20 km away. The reason: gentrification of Szecin. So many people now live in Löcknitz, that they even have german-polish kindergarten and schools.
I found this situation just curious, and i’ve wanted to share the videos. I apologize, they are both in german, you must use auto translate or a bowser extension but polish people are interviewed, of course. So parts of it are polish a bit.

Fun fact: If you have to rent, you get much more for your money and a lot of choice in Görlitz, compared to Zgorzelec. And there’s a Żabka just after the footbridge, so nothing to fear.
Szczecin *
it’s nothing new – I read about Poles settling in the area around Szczecin on the German side of the border already 10 years ago
Just curious if germans tell poles to spierdalać. Or is it different?
